Cleaning virus and malware found memory infected

\015 Using avast to clean several times. kept getting memory virus -- need to reboot. finally not even able to 'setup with f2.\015\012device in the system modular bay cannot be identified on white screen. shuts after about 2 min.\015\012win xp unverified os\015\012hdd worked fine multiple boots\015\012never removed\015\012does dell have key combo that forces setup?\015

Answers :

I think it was a case of a slide-in cd drive not fully making contact that must have caused the white screen. I have cleaned the laptop and am returning it to my friend. It had an unverified version of winxp, and I am recommending that they pay for a legit os if they intend to continue to use it. It has only a 10g hdd so it might be better to get a bigger one and upgrade the unit. They will probably just use stick drives for data.\015\012Thanks for your useful site. I have other issues with computers I get in the trash while trying to salvage them. I am setting up a learning center at an area nursing home and getting residents into learning how to use computers since they have a lot of time to learn, if they will.\015\012Sincerely,\015\012C.

Ihave been using jango internet radio for about a month-no problems, until now. The whole site is difficult to get up and running-everything is so slow. My main concern is that each song is taking about 10minutes to play-constsantly stop/start/stop/start. It is driving me crazy

There can be a few causes of slow internet sites. If you have a high speed connection, you can have your ISP run a line test to make sure that everything is OK there. I just checked the site myself and its flying for me.The next thing I w ...

Now it is running at a craw and takes almost a half an hour to do a reset. Is it possible the memory and/or bios were infected and retained the virus causing it to slow (or the virus to return)?
